'Christ Be Magnified' Cody Carnes - Staff Picks

Contemporary Christian artist Cody Carnes leads us in beautiful worship with the words of ‘Christ Be Magnified.’ As you hear these lyrics, it’s an incredible reminder that God is always by our side.

“Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
His name would burst from sea and sky
From rivers to the mountaintops
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"

Cody Carnes felt a call to worship music from a very young age. In fact, he was just a teenager when he led his first worship service. Since that time, Cody has continued to write music and perform in various bands.

Eventually, he met fellow Christian artist Kari Jobe. The two went on to marry in 2014. Cody even helped write Kari’s hit song ‘Let The Heavens Open.’

In 2017, he set out on a solo career with his debut album ‘The Darker the Night/The Brighter the Morning.’ Now, we’re blessed to see this live performance of ‘Christ Be Magnified.’

“O Christ be magnified
Let His praise arise
Christ be magnified in me
O Christ be magnified
From the altar of my life
Christ be magnified in me”

Mark 12:29-31 “Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
